Ready to take your skills to the next level, and/or get certified as a medical interpreter? The Agnese Haury Medical Interpreter Training Institute is here for you!
This 2-week program is for Spanish/English interpreters and/or translators as well as bilingual healthcare providers who want to develop their skills. The MITI is a comprehensive, practice-intensive training for interpreters in hospitals and other medical settings.
